The vision of VaultPress is to ensure that blogs and sites under its care are always completely secure, regardless of what happens. Today, this means every bit of content will be safe, from plugins and themes to the smallest comment or post revision, with WordPress-aware, real-time, multi-cloud backups. This is some of the most advanced technology I’ve seen interact with WordPress.

WordPress has experienced tremendous growth from being just a blogging platform to a Fully featured CMS. In recent times this growth has taken a new direction to include more than just blogs: people now power entire websites with WordPress, often with fantastic results.

As of 2010 – in a report called “State Of The Word” Matt Mullenweg the founder of Automattic shared that about 8% of websites on the Internet are now powered by WordPress – which is a phenomenal achievement.

Many people have grown from personal bloggers to full-time professional bloggers who earn their living through their blogs. If you have been a blogger long enough – you might have faced the issue or security breach or server crash. These bloggers would be able to tell you exactly how important it is to back up and secure your WordPress blog as often as possible.

Some enterprising developers have developed a few fantastic plugins for backing up your WordPress blog – but most of them have limitations like backing up just the database. The theme files need to backed up separately. Restoring your blog from such backups requires a certain amount of technical knowledge and not all users are that tech savvy. A more comprehensive solution was required – and VaultPress is here to fulfill that need.

VaultPress – Complete WordPress Back Up Solution:

Automattic, the company behind WordPress operates 2 versions of WordPress. The 1st one is WordPress.com where users can sign-up and start blogging right away. Everything for those blogs is hosted on the WordPress servers. The 2nd one is the WordPress.org which lets Content Publishers create self hosted blogs which needs its own hosting provider.

WordPress.com hosts over 11 million blogs at the moment and over the years the people at Automattic have developed techniques which keeps all these 11+ million blogs backed up and secure. They are now extending this same technology to all WordPress.org users too.

How Is VaultPress Different from Other WordPress backup Plugins?

Matt answers this question by revealing what we can expect from VaultPress.

There are tons of great, free backup plugins for WordPress, however –

VaultPress does more:

It can handle any amount of stuff. For example my site (ma.tt) has about 30,000 photos on it, totaling about 33 gigabytes.

It’s an all-in-one package. You don’t need one thing to back up your database, one thing for your files, one thing for your themes, et cetera.

It’s real-time. You make a post and it’s in the cloud seconds later.

It’s enterprise-grade and not reliant on one provider, including us. Your site is stored on no fewer than 2 cloud services in addition to our own copies.

It going to do more than just backup. The VaultPress engine will be able to push hotfixes to zero-day security vulnerabilities, for example.

More features would be revealed after beta testing ends…

It’s a complete solution — once VaultPress is running you don’t have to worry about anything except creating a great site.
